September 2018 Newsletter
"September days have the warmth of summer in their briefer hours, but in their lengthening evenings a prophetic breath of autumn. The cricket chirps in the noontide, making the most of what remains of his brief life. The bumblebee is busy among the clover blossoms of the aftermath, and their shrill and dreamy hum hold the outdoor world above the voices of the song birds, now silent or departed."

Happy September everyone.
It’s hard to believe its Labor Day has come and gone, we're getting ready for Fall. There is still plenty of time to get involved with the many branch activities. To name a few: try bocce ball, bridge, computers, fishing, travel, beer tasting, wine group, breakfast group, and poker.
Many thanks for all you members who have brought guests to our lunches over the past months. It has helped a great deal to get new members and is greatly appreciated.
I know it’s only September, but for planning purposes keep in mind the annual Christmas party at Castlewood on Thursday December 6.
See you at the Lunch.
Thank you
Adrian Verduzco

August Wine tasting
Thanks Ron and Judy Jensen for hosting a great wine tasting last month. Every one had a good time and enjoyed the wonderful views from their home. Thank you so much.
Our September wine event will be on September 11th starting at 6:30 at Robin & Carol Little's home. They have asked that you bring your favorite wine. We are going to limit the attendance to the first 40 couples to sign up. There will be a waiting list if more sign up. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT, please respond to larrylndsey@hotmail.com to attend this even. Let Larry know you will be attending "even if you contact the host directly". Because of the numbers now attending and the number of people we have in the wine group club it is very important that I know who is participating.

- Merry Mixers at the Elks Club in Walnut Creek: twice a month – 1st and 3th Friday of each month, live band, smaller dance floor but fun.
- Castle Rock Restaurant, Livermore: every Sunday and Tuesday night. Live band.
- Two Left Feet, Danville, every Sunday afternoon, DJ music, and nice dance floor.
